Hyperscalers like AWS, Microsoft, and Google are taking up more and more space in datacenters and the hardware required for AI such as the best large language models (LLMs) is requiring more and more energy. This is creating a strain on companies running datacentres and the businesses that use them.
In April 2024, Microsoft invested $1.5 billion in G42, an Abu Dhabi based technology company, with the goal for G42 to create more datacenters strengthening the UAE's bid to become a global datacenter hub and to further the advancement of AI.
